Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 700 The nurse smiled gently. "Don't worry. The doctor has examined you-the baby is doing well. But your body is still very weak. You must remain in bed and rest. Any sudden activity could trigger signs of a threatened miscarriage. And try to keep your emotions stable." Khloe's lips curved in a bitter, fleeting smile. Her chest felt heavy and suffocating. "I understand... thank you." Resting in bed meant she was completely cut off from the possibility of searching for Nick herself. She could only wait. Even late into the night, sleep eluded her.

In the evening, Arista and Lenny had come again, urging her to eat more. The city's top police forces had been mobilized to hunt down the organization targeting them. Yet, Clarice's whereabouts remained unknown If Clarice had indeed fled, her crimes would be sealed, and all the power and influence she had spent a lifetime chasing would vanish. But none of that brought Khloe any comfort. All she wanted was news of Nick.

Khloe no longer showed any irrational behavior in front of Arista She ate, regained her composure, and even checked on Arista's ---- mood in return, Outwardly, it seemed she had accepted the possibility that Nick might be gone. The more composed and thoughtful she appeared, the more it worried everyone around her. The next morning, George arrived at the hospital, almost simultaneously with Oscar. Both had come to see Khloe, having learned the general situation on the way. But neither had anticipated what had happened to Nick.

Though officially "missing," with the bus exploded, the chances of survival seemed grim. Oscar could only sigh in regret. George, after seeing Khloe, finally let the tension he had been holding collapse. Back at the hotel, his blood pressure spiked, leaving him bedridden. Arista knew George had never been indifferent to Nick, though he had long suppressed his true feelings, venting his bad temper on his son instead. Now, confronted with the disaster, guilt and grief consumed him, leaving him almost without the will to live. By evening, after another checkup, Khloe was ready to be discharged.

Except for Henry and George, everyone had gathered in her hospital room. They watched her calm, composed expression with taut nerves. Delilah spoke carefully, "Miss Khloe, Master Henry has arranged ---- for caregivers and doctors, and prepared a new residence for you. It's perfect for your recovery and the baby." Khloe still had to remain in Naraida for a while. Staying at her family's estate with Henry would have been ideal-but she was still sulking, refusing to yield. Out of respect for her pride, Henry had Delilah speak on his behalf.

Delilah knew Khloe's temperament well; no matter how perfect the arrangements, Khloe would not go back yet. "have a vacant villa ready for you. You can move in with Nick's parents," Delilah offered Khloe remained silent. Ralph stepped in, presenting the plan with meticulous care. Yet, Khloe only offered a faint smile and replied, No need. Lenny and | will just return to the hotel." Her words were simple, her demeanor seemingly indifferent- but there was a weariness beneath it, as if she had no energy left for anything else. Everyone understood.

After the recent attack, the police had deployed additional personnel to protect Khloe around the clock. The hotel had been changed to a secluded, standalone property near the embassy district, ensuring complete security. 1
